Fingerprint lock for incognito tabs
With fingerprint lock verification, incognito tabs are locked the moment you exit Chrome. When you want to re-enter the browser and open incognito tabs, fingerprint verification is requested. Thus, the websites you left open in incognito tabs can no longer be viewed by others. On phones that do not have a fingerprint sensor, it is possible to lock hidden tabs with a PIN.
